Monte Cristo lovers: the "redneck Monte Cristo"

What do you think? I report; you decide.

Okay, I can't help commenting on this. As a Monte Cristo, it's not really a Monte Cristo because it has at least two strikes against it: (1) it's keto, and "keto Monte Cristo" is a contradiction in terms; and (2) it lacks a deep-fried outer coating. Now, deep-fried breading is a thing that can be done on keto if you're clever and have the right ingredients, but this guy didn't even make the effort. So: does he get points for at least trying to make the Monte Cristo's interior more or less faithfully? Thumbs up? Or to the lions?

I'm thinking the lions might be hungry. As a keto channel, though, Southern Keto is surprisingly good, with a humorously self-deprecating host.

  1. The Monte Cristo is my favorite sandwich of all time. I'll never forget my first one served at a Fort Smith, Arkansas, train station restaurant. The Dragon Hill Lodge on Yongsan Garrison was also excellent. I've found one here; it is better than nothing, but not much. Anyway, I wouldn't attempt to make one myself; that would be disrespectful to the King of Sandwiches.
